STATEMENT FROM (FAACE)

Southport veteran animal rights campaigner has died.

On Friday 27th December 2013 Tony Moore, co-founder and chairman of Southport
based animal rights charity “Fight Against Animal Cruelty in Europe”
(FAACE) died from lung cancer, aged 79. Together with his late wife Vicki
Moore he founded the charity in 1987 in order to save “Blackie the
donkey” and other animals in Spain. The couple worked against bullfighting
and blood fiestas and through their investigations were instrumental in
the implementation of animal protection laws in Spain.

Especially Vicki’s accident in a Spanish blood fiesta in Coria
in 1995 when she was gored and severely injured by a fighting bull, inspired
many people in Spain and Latin America to get involved in the fight against
animal cruelty. After her death in the year 2000 Tony continued with their
campaigns and adding new topics like rodeo.

In the UK the charity campaigned mainly against the Waterloo Harecoursing
Cup, Goldfish being given away as prizes at fun fairs and horse racing
concentrating on the Grand National. He will be missed by animal lovers
around the world. His work will be continued by his partner Matilda and
friends.
